Actually Mike, for far less money than was wasted on the Mosemann studies, I could make such a list of commercial projects by company, language and year (which allow the DoD to accurately measure the rate of Ada assimilation in the non-mandate world). Since I have enough information about government and university such efforts (or at least enough raw data to safely statistically extrapolate ( :-) ), I suppose I could handle the commercial world. By the way, is "kvetch" Yiddish for government waste? Greg Aharonian -- ************************************************************************** Greg Aharonian Source Translation & Optimiztion P.O.
